Hi I am on holiday and I've been a bit careless and one of my brackets has broken off It is the lower molar right at the back, and before it is an extraction spot so the wire goes across the gap to the tooth.The bracket on the tooth at the back has completely broken off and fallen out, so the wire is just hanging...
